If you can put a type 3 record at a delegation point in a parent zone, how 
do you query for it explicitly?  The normal process would follow the 
delegation first and look for it at the apex of the child zone.

If the answer is it's special, you look for it in the parent, then how 
would you look for one that really is at the apex of the child zone?

Maybe it's like DS, "don't do that", but now I'm wondering why you 
wouldn't always return it in the additional section of the delegation 
response.  I don't see that would hurt anything and it avoids that 
ambiguity.

R's,
